A word from Pastor Terry 

Donna and I are very excited and thankful to be a part of the Ruffin Stacey Baptist Church family. My philosophy of ministry is very simple, Love God-Love Others-Make Disciples. Consider this your personal invitation to join us and experience first hand what God is doing at RSBC.
